Michael was just superb. He did a tailor-made taxi tour for my wife & me, picking us up outside our B&B, then across the border to East Donegal, to do a bit of genealogy research, then finishing up with a great tour of Derry itself, ending up in the Bogside before dropping us off again. It was also great to...

His first hand experiences in the troubles that occurred and his forward looking belief that despite the awful things that occurred on both sides, that a peace can and will work is very humbling. If you ever visit Derry, you should without question, book one of...

Very well organized trip!
We saw many different places such as Malin Head and Doagh Famine Village.

His sense of humor along with his knowledge as a native of the area, was very refreshing. Our visit to Giants Causeway was such an interesting...
